Internet Job Search Tips

Internet Job Search Tips

The Internet is a great source for employment information. The job postings are current, and you can respond to them instantly. Plus, you can explore a company's Web site to learn more about them before you answer their ad. Keep these hints in mind when seeking jobs advertised on Web sites:

Your resume and cover letter should be in a ready-to-go format for electronic transmission.

There is no guarantee that your electronically delivered resume and cover letter will be opened and read. It's smart to follow any e-mail contact with a postal or telephone follow-up.

Web pages (URLs) do not belong on your resume unless your site is 100% dedicated to your profession.

Make sure your correct and current e-mail address is on your resume.

List your computer skills on your resume; it makes you more marketable.

Don't rely on the Internet to get you a job; it is just another way of landing an interview.
